In recent years, the optimization of multi-objective service composition in distributed systems has become an important issue. Existing work makes a smaller set Pareto-optimal solutions to represent Pareto Front (PF). However, they do not support complex mapping quality (QoS) objective space, thus having limitations providing representative solutions. We propose enhanced differential evolution ...

this paper considers the job scheduling problem in virtual manufacturing cells (vmcs) with the goal of minimizing two objectives namely, makespan and total travelling distance. to solve this problem two algorithms are proposed: traditional non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (nsga-ii) and knowledge-based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (kbnsga-ii). the difference between these algor...

a multi objective honey bee mating optimization (hbmo) designed by online learning mechanism is proposed in this paper to optimize the double fuzzy-lead-lag (fll) stabilizer parameters in order to improve low-frequency oscillations in a multi machine power system. the proposed double fll stabilizer consists of a low pass filter and two fuzzy logic controllers whose parameters can be set by the ...

an integrated model considers all parameters and elements of different deficiencies in one problem. this paper presents a new integrated model of a supply chain that simultaneously considers facility location, vehicle routing and inventory control problems as well as their interactions in one problem, called location-routing-inventory (lri) problem. this model also considers stochastic demands ...

in this study, under the constraint of resource-saving and environment-friendliness objective, based on multi-agent genetic algorithm, multi-objective spatial optimization (moso) model for land use allocation was developed from the view of simulating the biological autonomous adaptability to environment and the competitive-cooperative relationship. the model was applied to solve the practical m...

this paper presents a clear monograph on the optimization of thermal instability resistance of the fg (functionally graded) flat structures. for this aim, two fg flat structures, namely an fg beam and an fg circular plate, are considered. these structures are assumed to obey the first-order shear deformation theory, three-parameters power-law distribution of the constituents, and clamped bounda...

delivering perishable products to customers as soon as possible and with the minimum cost has been always a challenge for producers and has been emphasized over recent years due to the global market becoming more competitive. in this paper a multi-objective mix integer non-linear programming model is proposed to maximize both profits of a distributer and the total freshness of the several produ...

in this paper, a novel mathematical model for a preemption multi-mode multi-objective resource-constrained project scheduling problem with distinct due dates and positive and negative cash flows is presented. although optimization of bi-objective problems with due dates is an essential feature of real projects, little effort has been made in studying the p-mmrcpsp while due dates are included i...
